For the past few days, I've had several conversations about names. Like why do people shorten their names when they get to a certain age, from say Robert to Bob? It just makes it so hard on the people who know them to get used to a completely different name with the same face. Sometimes it just makes me wonder, what will changing your name do? I mean seriously, if I like you, I will like you whether your name is Samantha or Sam, so why don't you just pick one and stick with it? Although, it would be kind of fun to go by something different for a while, but it just seems a little silly to me.
Maybe it's because I'm so sleepy I'm delirious that I'm typing this right now. Oh well. Something is better than nothing. Or is it?
The only person that deserved to have shortened his name was Akon. He had like fifteen Nigerian slash African names as his real name, now he's Akon. Fifteen down to one actually makes some sense, seeing as everyone that's ever had to say his full name's probably asked him if he's got a nickname.
ReplyDeleteYou know, i don't want to be too critical, jacob, but i think you might be rushin da sploita a little too much.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna change my name to- jdfjadsgf
ReplyDeleteKiersten, I think you're just hatin'. So what if it's going to be hard on other people? If the person wants to change their name, I think they should; I mean afterall, it is THEIR name and if you're feelin' a different name, I say go for it. Like me. Cuz' I'm a beast. And a baller. And I'm out.
ReplyDeletedakota, seriously i'm not hating. It's just that it seems kinda dumb the way people switch their names in the middle of me knowing them and then sometimes randomly changing it back. I say pick one and stick with it
